An improved gate section and base for a portable safety rail system which utilizes cast iron bases and hinged gate sections. The improved base includes four post receivers, recessed handles with smooth edges, and stacking recesses. The improved gate section incorporates a single pull double latching mechanism which includes two durable and robust latches each with its own manual operating tab but also a manual operating handle whereby both latches can be operated simultaneously.

1. A gate section comprising:a. a single pull double latching mechanism means which provides stability to the gate section, thus enabling the gate section to withstand the same type of forces which the rail sections can withstand; and, b. a single pull double latching mechanism means including two latches pivotally attached to the gate section which pivot toward the top of the gate section, each with its own manual operating tab and mutual operating handle, whereby both latches can be operated simultaneously. 2. The gate section of claim 1, including a support wheel for additional support of the gate during pivoted or static states.3. A gate section for use in conjunction with and between a gate post and a latching post, the gate section comprising:a. a first horizontal rail, the first horizontal rail having a first end and a second end; b. a second horizontal rail spaced apart from the first horizontal rail, the second horizontal rail having a first end and a second end; c. a first vertical post, the first vertical post connected to the first ends of the first and second horizontal rails; d. a second vertical post, the second vertical post connected to the second ends of the first and second horizontal rails; e. a pair of hinges, carried on first vertical post and upon the gate post, the hinges defining a two-point rotatable coupling between the gate post and the first vertical post; and, f. a single pull double latching mechanism secured on the second vertical post opposite the pair of hinges, with two pivotally attached latches on the second vertical post wherein said latches pivot toward the top and bottom of the gate section, the single pull double latching mechanism defining a two-point latch coupling between the second vertical post and the latching post. 4. The gate section of claim 3, further comprising a safety instruction container carried on the gate section.5. The gate section of claim 4, wherein the safety instruction container is located upon the second horizontal rail.6. The gate section of claim 3, further comprising a support wheel.7. The gate section of claim 6, wherein the support wheel is attached to the second vertical post and provides additional support for the gate during static or pivotal states.8. The gate section of claim 7, wherein the support wheel is attached to the second vertical post by a supported axle and a securing device.9. The gate section of claim 8, wherein the securing device of the axle of the support wheel is a cotter pin.10. The gate section of claim 3, wherein the single pull double latching mechanism includes:a. an upper latch pivotally attached to the second vertical post; b. a lower latch pivotally attached to the second vertical post and spaced below the upper latch; c. an operating handle, the handle pivotally connecting central portions of the upper and lower latches and operating as a linkage therebetween. 11. The gate section of claim 10, wherein the operating handle of the single pull double latching mechanism extends above the upper latch.12. The gate section of claim 10, wherein the upper and lower latch each includes an end opposite from pivotal attachment to the second vertical post, which ends have an open structure for capturing of the latch post within the open structure.13. The gate section of claim 12, wherein upward actuation of the operating handle causes the upper latch and the lower latch to simultaneously pivot upward.14. The gate section of claim 13, wherein simultaneous pivoting upward of the latches disengages the open structure of the latches from intimate captured contact with the latch post.15. A system for controlling access between a latch post and a gate post, the system comprising a gate section having a pivotable hinged connection to the gate post and a single pull double latch mechanism for engaging the latch post, the single pull double latch including:a. an upper latch pivotably moves in a vertical direction connected to the gate section; b. a lower latch pivotably moves in a vertical direction and connected to the gate section; c. a linkage member connected to mid-sections of the upper latch and the lower latch; and, d. open structures on the upper latch and the lower latch opposite the pivotable connect to the gate section, and wherein pivotably lifting one of the latches lifts the other latch such that the latch post may be simultaneously captured or released from both latches thereby restricting or allowing the gate section to pivot to allow access between and through the gate post and the latch post. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the section includes a support wheel.
